Cooperative collection development

Resource sharing means that you are collaborating with one or more libraries to maximize
access to a larger array of resources by sharing the collections of the cooperating libraries or
pooling funding to purchase shared digital resources. In this day of shrinking resource
dollars, most libraries participate in some type of resource sharing, even when they may not
be aware of it. Resource sharing provides the cooperating libraries with an opportunity to
access materials from other libraries, which should result in a cost savings.
